A List of Executive Orders Everyone Should Know About

  

  An executive order in the United States is an order issued by the President, the head of the executive branch of the federal government. Executive orders do have the full force of laws. Federal courts will enforce them just as if they had been enacted by Congress.

  Here is a list of some executive orders associated with FEMA that everyone should know about for the simple reason that they would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for whatever reason the government deems it necessary. The stated intent is, but is not limited to "times of national emergency"
